Roger's Arrivals! 1st part

One day in a Schleich tread while seeing a muskox and a European bison posted something saying that those were two Schleich figures that I loved to have!What happened? I’ve received a pm from a very warm country, Peru, whwere someone was offering me a muskox!!! Of course it was our great member and friend Alejandro, and I thought, why Alejandro??? We never talk before??? You know why??? Because this forum has the greatest people of the world! Some days before, another very nice member made the same offer…. Who??? …the nice secret lady of this forum! :)

Gracias Alejandro por el fantastico buey Almizclero!!! 14332 - Muskox - (2004-2006)[You must be registered and logged in to see this image.]

If it's here with me, I would lift it's tale and know exactly, but this way-it could be a cow... The main difference is the weight of the male versus the female and the males' horns are usually longer, but there's only 1. How can I compare?

Congrats Roger, this ram bull is wonderful , and the story is another good story about our forum. Sometimes, in some places, life look like a big warm smile

I´m so happy for you Roger!I was the same abou Musk Ox! I was searching for him so bad... and one day... the greatest member of this forum trade one with me and that day was like a dream!So... I´m so happy for you

Wow, what a wonderful gift! That Musk ox has probably travelled the farthest ever From China to Germany to Peru to Portugal. His/her legs must be tired from flying so far! (old joke)

This is a great forum with very special people.

@ Izzy, when you are searching on ebay for a musk ox, be sure and check under "bison" or "buffalo" as sometimes they are listed wrong (the owner isn't sure what it is). I found one under that name. They are not as expensive on ebay.de compared to ebay.com, and they don't come up very often, but they do come up for sale.

So Rogberto, what is the name you gave this one?

Thanks Sue. That is very helpful because I have been looking and found nothing under musk ox!

Some days ago I’ve received a double package from two fantastic friends!

Susanne, the great Danish chocolate eater and our very nice boy Philip!

In this topic is only Susanne’s package! As you know from other topics Susanne is making possible to have extraordinary figures in my collection! This time, again as a gift, a surprising Bullyland Andean condor, almost the same style of the extraordinary Bullyland vultures!

I helped her to find one and she bought two, so this condor flew from Spain to Denmark and flew back to Portugal! And I love it, eager to see the 2011 bearded vulture in my hands too!

…but the surprise continues, do you remember the great topic about the claw animal? :afraid:That’s it, Susanne sent me the exciting Bullyland chalicotherium, a prehistoric mammal, related with rhinos and horses, that I searched in the start of my collection and Susanne knew it and here it is!

..and a surprise only possible from someone who cares a lot with us and is very special! Is true, I don’t collect farm animals, but I searched more than 30 local shops to find the complete Schleich Boer family! OK, I’ve found the parents for me and Philip, but the kid? Where to find the baby? Susanne, as a great hunter, send me it as a surprise and what a surprise! I collapsed! Not only because is a very beautiful figure but mainly because I felt very happy to someone remembered it!

@ Susanne: They won't eat me!!! I was breathless and my feathered friend began to flap their wings to help me!

@ Robert: This is an Andean condor, Spanish navigators brought from Latin America to Spain! Then he started making the chocolate route and discovered a village in Denmark! But Westie ate all chocolate and the condor flew back to Iberia! Thanks Westie! :)

The first part of this history is in the further link, but don’t read it because it is full of black humour with chocolate![You must be registered and logged in to see this link.]Now the Philip envelope and the second part of the story! :)Completely attached to Susanne’s package, was an envelope from Philip!Even Philip, a young boy, is sending me some gifts! I’m a very proud and happy crocodile! He told me that it was from a trade but how is it possible? If I’m not trading? So he sent me a very special figure, it’s a beautiful symbol from the way we became friends and the way he cames to this forum! I will not tell it, maybe better Philip if he wants!

When I see a sitting figure, I remember my niece looking at theCollectA sitting panda cub and saying: "Uncle Roger, this panda is just like you!!! He is always sitting and smiling! "I don't really know why she said it!

…and the 14361 Schleich okapi!!! I will not say anymore that it has a big head and large ears!Nor call it horsekapi! A very beautiful figure even it is not too accurate.
